BIAFRA SHOULD BE RESPECTED AND RECOGNISED GLOBALLY : OPEN LETTER TO THE WORLD

By Sunday Okafor
For Family Writers

Biafra should be respected and recognized nationally and internationally with respect to the principles of self-determination. This is because liberty includes the freedom to choose what suits one, the freewill to express ourselves and the free power to make reactions against our oppressors. Moreover a nation without freedom and liberty is doomed to fail because no country can survive whilst her people are continually held under intimidation and slavery.

Also the whole world accepted freedom as the only phenomenon and remedy that can grant tranquility, peace and justice to all nations. As stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 1 to 3 which states that; "All human being or citizens are born free and equal in dignity and right. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood." This simply means that what is dangerous to one's life is also the same to another.
We are all human being with the same feeling of pains and pressure. It also stated that Biafrans are entitled to all rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration. Biafrans are tired of being marginalized, we are no longer enjoying the free gift of nature due to the maltreatment given to us in the contraption called Nigeria. We are into bondage and slavery while the oppressors (Hausa-Fulani) take over our gift from God (natural resources) not minding our dignity and rights to self-determination.

This has brought a call for the peaceful Biafraexit referendum, which the Nigerian government has outrightly waved aside. However, I can tell you that Biafra is much more older than the contraption called Nigeria, we have been existing many years ago before the forceful amalgamation by the British colonial masters in1914.

Therefore we urgently ask for the intervention of the United Nations, international community and other international bodies to look into the issue of Biafra because our freedom can no longer be suppressed. We strongly believe that a day will come when the freedom and liberty that has been taken away from the children of God (Biafrans), shall return back to us peacefully.
